Chapter 39: The Kind and Righteous Little Black Duck

  By the roadside, Director Xing was still persistent, but Ye Haodong had lost his patience to accompany her. He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Director Xing around the waist.

  "Old lady, you like to tease me, I'll play along with you, let's go to the hospital and have a check-up to see what's wrong with you."

  Nong Junting in the car was delighted: "This is getting interesting, this guy is really bold, daring to use any trick."

  Yu Feng worried: "This move is too shameless, Director Xing has never married in her life, I'm afraid she'll be exposed."

  Nong Junting: "He's doing the right thing, didn't you say you were sick? Carrying you to the hospital is still wrong?"

  Xing had been a director for over 50 years and had never been hugged like this before. He was called a big boy, how could he bear it? He shouted loudly: "Put me down quickly, child, I'm fine!"

  Ye Haodong put her down, smiled: "I know you're not in trouble, but I see that your age is much older than my mother's. I guess it's hard to make ends meet at home, and you don't have to do this business. I have 500 yuan here, take it first, and if there's more, I didn't bring it with me. If you're in trouble in the future, don't do this again, just wait for me here, at this point, nothing else. I'll pass by here every day." After that, he took out the money from his pocket and put it in the old lady's hand.

  The voice of the leader from the superior department who came down to 'assign tasks' sounded in the earpiece hidden in Director Xing's ear: "Follow him and cry, make up a miserable story for him to listen to, be careful not to expose."

  In the car, Yu Feng released the button on the intercom and looked at the expectant face of Nong Xiaojie, letting out a helpless sigh: "Alas~ I can only help you up to this point. What's the point of all this? Does it make any sense? Are you trying to test if this kid has exceptionally good character or something, so that your family will agree to let you marry such a little devil?"

  Nong Junting pursed her lips, raised her head, and looked up with a slanted gaze, looking very cute. After thinking for a moment, she said: "He is the biological father of my child, no matter if we have fate to become husband and wife, this point cannot be changed by anyone. I am thinking that one day in the future, let the child know what kind of person he is. From my heart, I naturally hope that he is not only outstanding in ability but also first-rate in character and wisdom."

  Yu Feng: "What if he isn't?"

  "Nong Junting: 'He bullied the young lady of our Nong family, what right does he have to live in this world?' Nong Junting said these words with an icy tone and a very serious attitude."

  Yu Feng: "Fortunately, so far, he has never let you down."

  Nong Jun's sweet smile replaced her previous cold demeanor: "Not only did you not disappoint me, but you also surprised me. Hehe, I didn't expect that my Nong would sleep with a boy so casually and he would turn out to be such an amazing person."

  Yu Feng: ……

  Ye Haodong was really moved. Director Xing's years of secret front-line experience were not in vain, and the tragic human drama she performed was so vivid that Ye Haodong seemed to see a boy with leukemia and his father who had lost both arms in a steel water accident standing right in front of him. The woman who was intimidated by difficulties and this strong grandmother made people sigh.

  Yu Feng and Nong Junting in the car listened very clearly through the eavesdropping device, and the two "behind-the-scenes black hands" admired Director Xing's storytelling skills. If they hadn't known earlier that it was Director Xing who made up the story, these two people would have immediately gotten off the bus with their money and followed the old lady to the hospital. However, no matter what, they couldn't have imagined that the story actually existed in reality, and the unfortunate family in the story was actually Director Xing's sister's family.

  "Nong Junting grumbled: 'What's with this story? It's so miserable and you're telling it like it's true, making me feel all weird inside.'"

  Yu Feng: "Director Xing is indeed a talented person, it's just that he's a bit old."

  Ye Haodong: "Auntie, tell me where the child is hospitalized, I'll go visit them this afternoon. I have a factory and it just so happens that we're short of night watchmen. The big brother with injured arms you mentioned would be perfect for the job. If he's willing to come work at our factory, it'd be doing me a favor."

  Nong Junting's eyes were very warm, while Yu Feng exaggeratedly said: "Isn't it a bit too good to be true?"

  "You've seen a triad member with two lives on his hands? This is what we call true goodness, this is the chivalrous spirit of a Jianghu hero. Not like you guys who have so many twists and turns in your minds."

  Yu Feng: "You're done for, poisoned! Your heart must be racing like a deer!"

  Nong Junting said with some expectation: "It won't be known until this afternoon when I see him at the hospital."

  Afternoon, Provincial Tumor Hospital.

  The warm sunshine finally shines into the sickroom, this is a rare moment in a day. Like the sunshine shining into the sickroom, Xiaomeng Zhou and his father Meng Qingyu have also been waiting for a ray of sunshine to illuminate their hearts and light up hope.

  Ye Haodong not only brought the 20,000 yuan urgently needed for the child's chemotherapy, but also arranged a job that Meng Qingyu could handle. Upon learning the truth, Nong Juntian and Yu Feng couldn't sit still, and the 'mastermind' naturally couldn't continue either. Director Xing looked at the two girls walking into the hospital with embarrassed backs, a warm smile on his face. She had apparently figured out that this was mostly an arrangement made by her young superior for personal gain, and she also cleverly took revenge, while sending some hope to her sister in distress.

  It was like this, in Xiaomeng Zhou's hospital room, Ye Haodong had his first real meeting with Nong Junding. Unfortunately, he still couldn't remember who she was. At the moment they met, Nong Junding's heart was racing and her mind was a mess, she was most afraid that Ye Haodong would recognize her, but at the same time, she was also secretly afraid that he wouldn't recognize her. Fortunately, Ye Haodong's reaction was the most ideal outcome.

  Ye Haodong looked at the beautiful woman who had also come to donate with a puzzled expression, thinking that he hadn't seen her before, but why did he feel so familiar? That kind of déjà vu feeling was especially strong, it was really strange.

  Nong Junting took in Ye Haodong's confusion and finally saw that the little rascal hadn't recognized himself. She smiled generously: "Hello."

  Ye Haodong also responded with a smile, but no one was as good at smiling as the little sister, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth. He nodded in response: "Hello."

  This is the most suitable way to greet each other in this situation, with the same thoughts in mind, no need for many words. Let the faint kindness circulate in this small space, creating a warm atmosphere that can touch the heartstrings of everyone in this hospital room, and that's enough.

  Until she walked out of the hospital, Nong Juntin finally called out to him from behind Ye Haodong.

  Nong Juntin walked over and extended his hand generously: "Nong Juntin, from Yanjing, came to Gangcheng to do some business, if you don't mind, let's get acquainted."

  Nong Junting's father Nong Jiashe has been doing business in the north for many years, and his headquarters is located in Yanjing, so what she said doesn't count as cheating.

  Ye Haodong listened to her standard Mandarin and, without thinking much, stretched out his hand to hold Nong Juntin's small hand: "Ye Haodong, local, running a paper mill."

  Nong Junting feigned surprise: "Ah! So young and already running your own business? I thought you were still in school."

  Ye Haodong slightly frowned and didn't respond to her. Yu Feng walked over with a slight smile, mediating the situation: "Ambition is not limited by age, there are many young people who have accomplished great things, not just Xiao Ye. What's so surprising? Ah, right, let me introduce myself, I'm Yu Feng, working in a government department."

  Nong Junting gritted her teeth: "I mean 'little brother' is very impressive, that's all."

  Ye Haodong found her tone strange, but even with his rich imagination, he couldn't have guessed that this beautiful woman he had just met for the first time would hint that his little brother was formidable and got someone's belly big in just one go.

  Yu Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly suppressed it again. Seeing Ye Haodong looking at them strangely, she explained: "Her family used to have a younger brother who looked very similar to you, but later had a car accident. Today in the hospital, seeing you, she almost mistook you for him, so she's a bit incoherent, don't mind her."

  "Hey, speaking of which, my younger brother is about the same age as you, how old are you this year?"

  Ye Haodong: "Born in the year of the horse, eighteen years old by Chinese age reckoning."

  Yu Feng was surprised: "Oh my, it's really a coincidence that her brother is also a horse sign. It seems like you two have a sibling affinity. Little brother, if you don't have anything else to do, spend more time with my sister. Sister will treat you to dinner."

  Nong Junting nodded, her big eyes looking at Ye Haodong with some expectation.

  Ye Haodong was confused by these two, who didn't look like they were from the immortal world just by their clothes and appearance. They looked beautiful and elegant, not to mention very kind-hearted. Although Ye Haodong was caught off guard by this sudden invitation, he still agreed.

  A handsome young man drove a Mercedes-Benz over, Nong Juntin and Yu Feng invited Ye Haodong to get in the car, and the car headed straight to the pedestrian street of Xincheng District.

  The car drove smoothly and quickly, the young driver's temperament and superb driving skills made Ye Haodong realize that the two "sisters" he had just met were not ordinary people. He was a bit confused and also looked forward to it, unable to figure out what kind of women they were, wondering if it was really because his father looked like her brother? Thinking about what would happen next in his heart, he unknowingly arrived at the destination.

  The first brand of catering in the province, Tianyi Building Restaurant, a subsidiary of Tianyi Building Food Chain Group, Gangcheng Pedestrian Street.

  This restaurant may not be the largest on this street, but it is absolutely the most expensive! The entire nine-story building has no large hall, only private rooms and elegant seats. The store mainly focuses on Huaiyang cuisine, from the ingredients to the final dish, every link emphasizes authenticity. The restaurant's clear positioning for high-end customers is enhanced by the complex, delicate and luxurious characteristics of Huaiyang cuisine.

  9th floor, No. 5 Emperor's Box at Di Wang Xuan

  Nong Junting, Yu Feng, Ye Haodong, three people sat in the spacious suite, chatting enthusiastically.

  Ye Haodong can finally confirm that they don't have any special intentions towards him. Maybe it's just because they hit it off, and want to acknowledge a younger brother. Ye Haodong not only doesn't mind this, but also welcomes it. For some reason, he has an inexplicable sense of closeness with Nong Junteng as well.

  When they were halfway through their meal, Boss Song Hao came over and toasted a glass of wine. Yu Feng and Ye Haodong both drank it down quickly, while Nong Juntin took a small sip of juice.

  Nong Junting was somewhat emotional: "Uncle Song, I'm especially happy today. I've acknowledged a sworn brother, and it's him - Ye Haodong. I heard you two know each other, so I'd like to ask you to be a witness. From now on, Ye Haodong is just like my own brother. In the future when I'm not in Gangcheng, please take care of him for me."

  Ye Haodong could see that his new sister, Nong Junding, was a bit excited. He was also quite happy to have a sister from now on, but he and Nong Junding were after all 'newly acquainted', and it was difficult for him to reach the level of recognition that Nong Junding had for him in his heart. However, Ye Haodong was still touched by Nong Junding's emotional expression.
